Well, I am using now a simple circuit. I have connected to the tip and ring a diodes bridge to fix the positive and negative references. For obtain the isolated signal corresponding to line presence have a 68K resistor in a diode of a opto-isolator. I need polarize the opto-isolator without to affect the telephone line. If I use low value resistors the telephone line is "answered" (dropped to a low voltage signal) and if I use big value resistor I can't match the polarization of opto-isolator. How can I fix it? (sorry by bad english ;-) . I hope that you understood me.) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
